Rules for breeding a fire and security measures

In the forest, it is necessary to follow the rules of the fire and the fire safety measures. Even a small spark can cause destructive fire, which will destroy not only kilometers of green massifs, but also deprive many animals of habitual habitats, and even bring them death.

Than to kindle a fire?

Rules for breeding a fire start with the process of kindling the fire. In cloudy or rainy weather, only the lower branches of trees are taken for this. But only dead and dry. Birch bark is very suitable for kindling. But you can not rip it off living trees. Beresta lies on the ground. To kindle a fire, chips of dry logs, stumps, resinous bark, etc. are used. Before going to the forest one can take candles, dry alcohol or plexiglass trim.

In many shops a special liquid is used to light a fire. Matches before going to the forest are packed in waterproof packaging. To quickly kindle a fire, you can drop the box wrapped in paper in paraffin or melted wax.

How to build a fire in the forest?

There are safety rules when breeding a fire. This should only deal with adults. Fires can not be burned in a strong wind, next to coniferous trees, on dry grass and peat bogs. To light a fire, you must first prepare a place. To do this, a shovel removes a small layer of soil, in which are the roots and insects.

For a fire, you can not break the branches of living trees. Only dry branches lying on the ground are used. Before leaving, a fire is abundantly filled with water until the coals cools completely. Then covered with the originally removed layer of earth.

How to maintain the fire of a fire?

Rules for breeding a bonfire begin with collecting for him a windfall. You can not break and chop down live trees. Only dry branches are gathered, which are many on the ground. For a fire, you can use lightning-split trees. And the living break off the dry branches. Sometimes a tree breaks a strong wind, which can also be used for a fire, like rotten stumps. Also going to dead wood is the dead coniferous and deciduous trees. In addition to standing in the swamps or lying on the damp earth.

Raw logs are used when the fire is already fully lit. In this case, the tree will burn for a long time. In the tundra, a shrub is used for a fire. From the banks of the rivers, a fin is going. These are trees brought by the flood, lying on the ground and already dried up in the sun. In the semi-desert and mountainous areas for the fire, dried animal manure is used.

Safety in the cultivation of fires

There are certain rules for breeding a fire in the forest and monitoring the fire. This is an elementary safety technique that protects not only man, but also the animal and plant world. Burning fires can not be left unattended for the night. Because the flame with a sudden rising wind can spread to neighboring vegetation. You need to extinguish the fire, as soon as you start to sleep. Otherwise the fallen asleep person can fall into the fire and get serious burns and injuries. And sparks from a fire are capable to set fire not only clothes and tents, but also the next vegetation.

Bonfires should be divorced at a distance of 10 meters from the tent. In the direction of the wind. To him, the tent is installed only by the back wall, and to the fire - by the entrance. In the mountains you need to take into account that in the morning the wind blows from the valley, and in the evening - from the mountains. Therefore, the fire must be located closer to the river.

Rules for breeding a bonfire prescribe a ban on the use of fir or spruce branches for fire to avoid a large number of large sparks. In addition, the charcoal "shoot" fire over long distances. Beresta is used only for kindling bonfires. Pine and cedar create even burning. Without sparks, but with soot. It does not exist when using alder firewood. And they burn smoothly, without smoke. Birch firewood is very sparkling, but gives a lot of heat.

If, nevertheless, a fire is kindled in a coniferous forest, then it is impossible to breed a big fire. Sparks, rising upwards, can lead to a strong horse fire, which is considered the most dangerous. Therefore, a bonfire in coniferous places is bred at least 15 meters from the trees.

What is prohibited in a fire hazardous period?

Rules for breeding a fire in a fire-dangerous period have many prohibitions. It is impossible (even with a strong need) to kindle a fire in the forest areas during periods of increased fire danger. This situation can arise from May to September. The rules are strictly forbidden to build bonfires:

• In coniferous and pine young;
• On the winds;
• In the windbreaks;
• On felling areas where timber is harvested or felling residues are present;
• On fields with ears of crops;
• In the steppes with dried grass;
• On glades with dry grass;
• Next to reeds, moss and reeds;
• On peat bogs or near them;
• Under the crowns of trees;
• On old burners.

Fires should be located only in open places, in a decent distance from thickets of vegetation and shrubs. And in the first place - away from the dry grass. In the fire-dangerous period it is forbidden to use mangals or any devices for cooking food in the forest.

You can not smoke and throw cigarette butts and burning matches, shake the ashes out of the pipes. It is forbidden to use pyrotechnics and shoot from firearms. Do not leave in the woods impregnated and oiled with combustible materials. It is forbidden to refuel tanks with fuel and leave in the open space glass bottles, their fragments and other debris.
